“The family of Bishop David Monroe would like to thank the community for its prayers and support,” they said.

“Bishop Monroe began an unexpected journey on Oct. 22. We understand there is a desire from the media and the public to know how his recovery is progressing.

“There were some encouraging signs during the first week following his injury and we’re pleased to say he has passed through the critical stages and is now stable.

“The next stage of David’s journey will involve long-term recovery.

“His family remains optimistic and continues to give thanks to God for the many skilled and compassionate people who have helped David. Special mention must be made of his care team, which includes Dr. Anders, Dr. Chevalier, Dr. Ganstal and Dr. Raghavan.”

Monroe’s sisters asked that the media and public respect the need for privacy so he can heal.

The Crown alleges Bandura — who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder — was in the midst of a psychotic episode in which he was fixated on religion when the beating took place.

…it’s not terribly difficult. I use a “Feed Reader” called Feedly. It’s free to use, although there is a paid option. Feedly offers apps for phones and tablets as well, which will all sycnchronize
These instructions apply to the desktop (PC / Mac) version:
* Set up an account at feedly.com. When your account is ready, you’ll see an “add content” button in the top left corner. Click it.
* Type in or paste the URL of this site (www.theinquiry.ca/wordpress).
* Two results will come up. One is for the posts to the site (which Sylvia makes); another is for comments on posts (made by anyone). You can add those to your Feedly feed.
Once you have done this, new posts and comments will be fed to your Feedly page each time there’s something new. You can read them there and mark them as read afterwards, or click through to the actual post.
You can do this with almost all websites. It’s a great way of getting through lots of information in a short time.
